Another 2 cents from a long-time mac user, relatively new IDL user...
Yes, the idlde on unix/mac is pretty awful, but Macs have some of the
best text editors around - I use a macro in the idlde to automatically
open any source code in SubEthaEdit or TextWrangler, both of which have
features unavailable in the IDL editor on any platform - e.g. code
completion, bracket/brace balancing, as well as 'normal' features like
line numbers, syntax highlighting etc.
Using MacOSX also allows you to use things like grep for searching
whole source repositories, svn or cvs for version control, and the
already mentioned mainstream software for email, presentations, dtp,
etc. If you're into it, you can also do the emacs/idlwave thing, too.
Will.
